The proposed journal aims at attracting original contributions of highest quality in Networks, Heterogeneous Media and related fields. Currently the research in this area is scattered across a wide range of statistical physics, applied mathematics, engineering, socio-economical and bio-medical journals. Networks and Heterogeneous Media will bring together all these different research lines by emphasizing the common underlying mathematics. NHM is thus devoted to research work on complex media arising in mathematical, physical, engineering, socio-economical and bio-medical problems such as atomistic to continuum approach to elastic solids, vehicles traffic flow on networks, social networks, telecommunication networks and internet, homogenization of complex media, random media, mass transfer and its interaction with hydrodynamic descriptions of flows, macroscopic evolutions in complex and random media, multiphase flows in porous media, biological flows, mechanical and biological properties of tissues, currents in micronic and submicronic electronic devices, conservation laws models in complicated media, kinetic description of hydrodynamic flows, multiscale phenomena, etc. The emphasis of the journal Networks and Heterogeneous Media is on modelling, analysis, control, numerics and applications. Occasionally, invited state of the art reviews will be published when they provide a solid background for future research.
